Sandisk To Build a Tiny 200gb Micro SD Card

Imagine having 200 gigabytes of external memory on your phone? By summer, Sandisk will make that a reality.

If you thought that 128gb was enough to fulfil all of your storage needs, think again. You can now fit 4971 albums or 20 hours of Full HD video on the 200GB SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I card, Premium Edition. The miniature memory card will be available at $399.99 with a 10-year limited warranty by the second quarter of 2015.

As consumers grow more reliant on their mobile devices to take pictures and videos, the California-based flash memory manufacturer has caught on by creating a large storage support in a compact card that fits on most Android mobile devices.

“By focusing on achieving new capacity and speed milestones, we are able to deliver trusted mobile memory solutions that give consumers the freedom to never stop capturing, saving, or sharing – with the benefit of fast speeds to transfer it all quickly”, says Dinesh Bahal, Product Marketing Vice President at Sandisk.

Cloud-based storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft Onedrive and Apple’s Icloud are now household names, and they have made it easy to upload large amounts of data. When you reach a certain amount of space on the service, you have to pay recurring membership fees. A miniature mobile-friendly flash card with 56% extra storage than previous models becomes an attractive alternative to keep uploading files to the cloud. T

his is also great for those who record lots of media but have little patience for lengthy file transfer sessions. The flash card boasts an impressively fast transfer speed of 90MB/s, allowing you to move up to 1200 pictures per second.
